A Chance for Savannah,

A New Orleans special points out the
rapid increase in trade that has taken
place within the last two or three years
between New Orleans and Central Amer
lea, and the adjacent Bay Islands. A
few years ago this trade employed only
a few small trading vessels. 1t was con-
fined almost wholly to fruit. 1t now re-
quires fifteen steamers to meet its re-
quirements. Its growth is phenomenal.
1t is also noticeable that New York is in
creasing its facilities for trading with
Central America. Why is there not some
thing in this trade for Savannah? A
glance at the new map OF the Plant
Steamship Line shows that steamships
could be run to the Bay Islands
and Central American ports in
connection with the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway
very advantageOusly. If this trade were
worked up the Plant steamers might run
from Tampa to the Central American
ports, touching in going and coming at
Havana. 1t would not be long before the
trade would assume such proportions
thar many more steamers than are now
ON the line TO Havana would be required i.
Business houses located here in savan-
nan might do trade, not only for all this
section OF the south and part of the West,
but also tor New York. Savannah might
be made a distributing point of an i'm
meGse territory for the fruits of the Bay
Islands and Central America.
1t will not be long before the Central
railroad will have a connection with the
West. and it will afford just such quick
communication with that section of coun-
try as Will facilitate trade IN Central
American fruits. A glance at the map
Of the Plant steamship Line and connec-
tions would seem to indicate that the
managers OF that line have the possibility
of large Central American trade in

FROM a Washington SDectGE.
A good story is told In connection with this
appointment OF Mr.. John I. Campbell of Cal
ifornia, brother Of Comptroller Campbell OF
st, Louis, "a Consul to Auckland. New Zea-
land. 1t seems Mr.. John K. Campbell came
here some months ago, looking for an appoint
ment. He had papers at four dl fferent de-
partments, but got the cold shoulder every
where except at the State Department, There
he was well received and finally given the
consulate at Tamatave. Madagascar. shortly
alter Congressman Henley, of California, was
at the state Department.
II got good place fOr your friend Camp

ry of State.
gressman's reply. THE man you sent to
Tamatave is unknown to me. My man is
John L. Campbell, not John e.
The Assistant Secretary. who had not no
ticed the difference in the names, sent for the
papers and discovered that what MIR. Henley
had SAID was true. After some difficulty. he
succeeded In making change at Auckland,
New Zealand, ana John I. Campbell was APP
pointed to fill the vacancy.
Admiral Ammen dropped in upon the Gov
ernOr. "DO you remember" said he, telling
me long while ago that you would give a
friend of mine, Mr.. Campbell, of San Fran
cisco. place in the servIce?'
Gov Porter replied that he dK. land what

was also Endorsed by Congressman Hen ey."
ION, no. said the Admiral, blandly, my
friend is John q. Campbell. The gentleman
you referred to, John E is an altogether diff
ferent person.
The Governor uttered an angry eXclama-
ton, and asked: "Will you please tell me
now many Campbells there are in San Fran
cisco whose baptlsmal names are John?"
The Admiral said he was not there to an
swer cOnundrums. He wanted place for s
friend, and he hoped the Governor would md
one for HIM without any further delay Then
he walked out of the room, leaving the Gov

River by Order.

From HdrDer'S for Fs6FuGFU.
Captain King, author of The Colonel'e
Daughter" in his brochure entitled Gam
paignng with Crook" tells an amusing and
characteristic anecdote of Col Royal, now
commanding the Fourth Cavalry, but then
Lieutenant Colonel of the Third. He says:
"A story is gong the rOunGs of the camp
which does us all good even in this dismal
weather. Col. Royal ordered one of his bat

A Bill to Make Paupers.

/ The absence OF protests .iustifes the
| conclusion that the people do not realize
| how great the pension burden is which
| Congress IS i'm posing upon them. There
are few newspapers which are trying
| TO make them realize it, but they nave
not been apparently very successful.
! No one can tell with any degree OF
accuracy how much money this de-
pendent soldiers bill would take out Of
the Treasury annually. The Chairman
OF the House Committee on Invalid Pen
sions says $6,OOoOO0 Senator Blair
says $4,000 900, and the New York
Evening Post, after very careful oalcu-
lation, says S72, 100000.
1t VIII be remem bered that when the ar
rears of pensions act was before Congress
it was estimated that 1t would not require
more than $l5,000,O00 or $4,000, 900 TO
satisfy it. What is the truth? Why,
already more than 5000, 900, 900 has been
disbursed, and still the act is not salts
fed. So 1t will be with this dependent
soldiers bill. 1t will take out OF the
Treasury more than ten times the amount
of the estimate Of the Chairman of the
House Committee on Invalid Pensions.
Already the pension burden is enor-
nous. 1t is about $4,000, 900 a year. If
the POSTS estimate of the amount which
the dependent soldiers bill Will require
is oorreet, the people will be saddled with
an anndal pension charge OF $l47, 0OO,0 600
a year. 1t begins to look as II 1t would be
necessary TO increase rather than reduce
the tariff taxes. ,oaat
There is no JUSTICE In this dependent
soldiers bill. 1t doesn't give a pension
to an eX-soldier who was disabled while
In the service. 1t gives S12 a month 10
every man who enlisted for three months
and who is able now TO show that he can
not earn a comfortable living. 1t ought
10 be called a bill to make paupers. Its
effect will be to fill the country with
pauDers. Thousands who enlisted for
three months, who, when they were dis
charged, were sound men, and who are
now earning living, will take advantage
OF it to lead lives OF idIeness. Their
influence will be bad upon their children
and upon the communities 10 which they
live.
The President has a duty to perform
with reference TO this bill if it ever
reaches him. 1t is to veto it. He has
vetoed many small pension bills. Let
him show that he has the courage to do
what is right by vetoing this immense
bill.
Our spread-eagle orators often, in their
flights ofgeloquence, thank God that the
people Of this great country do not have
to bear the burden OF a standing army.
These orators in future should remember
that demagogues have saddled upon
the people the burden of supporting an
army of pensioners which, if the pending
pension bill becomes a law, will be far
greater than the burden imposed
upon any country In Europe
by standing army. The mill
tary establishment of France costs
1926, 1860, 0S6 year, and that is 500 200
more than the cost OF the military estab-
lishment OF any other country. Our
pension charge is $75, 100000 a year now,
and the pending bill proposes to increase
1t to about $l41 900, 900.

EIorida's War Claim.

The people OF Florida do not appear 70
be taking as much interest in Represent.
alive Dougherty's Indian war claim bill
as they ought. Doubtless they are ready
TO DO all they can TO secure its passage il
1t were clearly pointed out what it Is that
they ought to DO. Mr.. w ID. Chipley. of
Pensacola, who was lately in Washing.
ton IN the interest Of the bill, which has
already passed the House, says that if it
becomes law Pensacola will get about
$4,000, the State school fund about $780,
600, and there will still remain S400. 600 10
go into the State treasury. There is also
another bill which has been approved by
the Senate Finance Committee in which
Florida is interested. II provides for re-
turning 70 States the amounts eXpend ed
or civil war expenses. Florida is inter-
ested in 1t 20 the amount OF $4,000.
The Governor Of Florida ia doing what
be can 10 secure the passage Of both bills,
and every county and town and CONNER
cial and agricultural organization ought
10 do the same thing. The money which
these two bills would give the State would
| help 1t wonderfully. The House has
passed the Indian war claim bill and
there appears 10 be no good reason why
the Senate should not pass 70. The only
diihculty Is that OF reaching 1t before adj
journment. A little clever management
may overcome that. The amount which
the State Will get Il It passes Is certainly
large enough TO justify extraordinary
exertions ia It's behalf.

The House Committee on Excise, Of the
New York Legislature, lad very inter-
esting session on Tuesday. The entire
session was devoted 20 discussion or the
high license question. QUITS large
number OF distinguished men from New
i York city appeared before the committee
to advocate the measure. Among them
were Rev. Or. Howard Crosby, Judge
Noah Davis and Gen. Wagner swayne.
Gen. Swayne spoke of the good that high
license had done in Ohio and Illinois. He
presented facts and figures 20 show that
Notwithstanding all that had been said
against itin those States the evils which
flow from liquor had been greatly de-
creased by it.
Dr.. Crosby expressed the opinion that
1t would clean out all the low groggeries
and stop The sale OF liquor in places
which have no license. The principal
speech was made by Judge Davis, who
said ne thought That prohibition would
not do for large city, because the police
were not strong enough to enforce it. 1t
might do for the country, and he was con-
1ident that it had done vast amount of
good in rural districts. He was satisfied,
he said, after many years OF observation,
that 80 per cent. of all the crime commit
ted in New York city was directly due to
drink. He was convinced that the onl y
practical remedy Is high license. Every
man who paid 81, 600 license would be on
the lookout to see that no liquor was sold
surrepttiously. Unlicensed saloons
would be an impossibility.
There are in New York city 10, 1872 sa-
looms, and about ! 200 of these are not Ii
censed. The unlicensed places are the
lowest kind OF groggeries, and are sup
ported by the very worst class Of people.
About all OF those who appeared before
the committee united In the opinion that
high license is what New York city
needs, and that prohibition would be pro-
ductive OF a worse condition of things
than exists at present.
1t would not be surprising if high Ii
cense were given trial In New York.
There is a powerful public sentiment in
favor OF 1t, and 1t may be assumed as GER
tain that if il is tried and proves to be
satisfactory it Will not be abandoned, as
it virtually was in this city, without it is
clearly shown that it is not supported by
public sentiment.

Hon. William l.. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
says that he will not be a candidate for
Congress again; that he is done with
public life, and that he would be glad if
his Congressional career ended with the
present Congress. The only reason he
gives for being tired of public life is that
he is losing 81, 900 day by being in Wash
ington instead or at home attending to his
business. 1t is not TO be wondered at
that he is tired of public life. There are
very few men who could afford TO lose
$1,000 q day for the satisfaction Of being
a member OF Congress.
